Sorted cheapest first. A published figure that behaves like a placeholder rather than a real price — one cent, or a figure orders of magnitude below what other hospitals publish for the same billing code — never leads this order. It stays listed, after every other figure, ordered by its own amount among the others like it.

One file, 3 locations These prices come from a file that covers 3 locations — Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital, Northwestern Medicine Huntley Hospital and Northwestern Medicine Woodstock Hospital — and the file does not say which of them any price belongs to. Every figure here is that whole file's rather than this one address's. The file's own header names it "Northern Illinois Medical Center DBA Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital".

Why a range? One insurer publishes different rates for different plans at the same hospital — a PPO and an HMO under the same name can differ several times over. We show what the hospital published rather than collapsing it into a single number that might not be yours.
